Question

Examples:

The water molecule: H₂0

Quadratic: ax² + bx + c = 0

Just like you would use the b tag for bold or the i tag for italic, use the sub and sup tags for subscript and superscript.

that's great...but what do you mean "b tag" and "i tag" ??

the b tag is for bold. The i tag is for italics. We place a < sign followed by b or i followed by >. It looks like this, but to show it I must place a question mark. You would leave the ? out.
<?b> without the ? will put everyting in bold. To stop bold, the slash mark is used. That is </?b> without the question mark will stop the bold.

OK thanks
practicing no bold

H₂O

You have it.

Thanks. But you're right...

n^ot e_as^{y

I'm glad we have that but it isn't EASY to use. It takes about 10 times the time to write

Na₂SO₄ + BaCl₂ ==> 2NaCl + BaSO₄

Testing -- a cobb-douglas function.

Q = A(K^aL^(1-a))

It does take time, but it sure makes the text more readable. I'm used to using LaTeX and equation writer, so I never thought to check -or ask- if this site supported tags.

Test:

Fermat primes: The n^th Fermat prime, F_n=2^2ⁿ+1

F₀=3

F₁=5

Let's see if S can be used for an integral here:

If F(x) is any anti-derivative of f(x), then

S^b_af(x)dx = F(b) - F(a)

too bad we don't have the medial s...oh well.

this should be bold

this should be underlined

this should be italics

<sqrt>this would be a square root in LaTeX</sqrt>

This would be 1/2 <frac>1 2</frac>}

Answer 1

I apologize for any confusion. It appears that you are using HTML tags to format text, but this platform does not support HTML tags for text formatting.

To create bold text, you can simply use double asterisks or double underscores around the desired text. For example, **this should be bold** or __this should be bold__.

To create italic text, you can use single asterisks or single underscores around the desired text. For example, *this should be italic* or _this should be italic_.

To create subscript text, you can use the underscore character followed by the desired text. For example, H₂O would be written as H\_2O.

To create superscript text, you can use the caret (^) symbol followed by the desired text. For example, X^2 would be written as X\^2.

I hope this helps clarify how to format text on this platform. Let me know if you have any further questions!
